> The "good" devs become managers or magically disappear. Magically as in they get banished to some other realm I've never been able to see. I agree with you here - the question is why? I don't think it's because

Do you see a lot of age discrimination it tech? What I have seen is awkward situations where you have two developers of roughly equal competence. One happens to be 45 and the other 28. Fine, nobody would care about that. Except that due to

which "bank owners"?

I think it was mainly independent mortgage brokers who were telling borrowers to lie, not the actual banks who were providing them

There’s no way an enterprise can follow the consumer cadence for patches and updates. There are dozens if not hundreds of custom apps that could break

Who is going to put their money in a stable coin paying 0.2% interest when the guy next door is offering 20%? Answer:anyone sane, but they wouldn’t be there in the first place

When was the last time anyone lost the money in their checking account due to a bank failing in the US?

You have the chronology wrong. The tokens were created because the price kept slipping, and the more the price slipped the more tokens were printed, the more people panicked etc

The distinction between company and employee payroll taxes is completely artificial. The only thing that matters is that the company pays X and the employee gets Y

Because you shouldn’t be dropping 30k on a car.. for 10k you can get a car that will easily last another 10 years

by namdnay 4y ago
0% finance just means you’re paying a bigger upfront cost. Buying a new car is never worth it
672.
by namdnay 4y ago
I’m not arguing no against the use of a car, I’m saying you really shouldn’t borrow to buy one, unless you don’t even have 3k
673.
by namdnay 4y ago
You should only borrow for an investment. Houses sure. Cars, less so. You’d have to be very poor with a very strong need to have a car, and then I guess borrowing 3k to buy an old Toyota could make financial sense

The main risk is your riskless strategy is that when the whole system blows up, everything you have on your exchange disappears too.

it's much easier to con a greedy person. And you had to be very greedy indeed to convince yourself that 20% interest is a safe investment

I think that as the author matures, they’ll come to the realisation that software engineering is 20% coding and 80% working out who needs to code what where when. And that is much easier with synchronous communication.

It’s not just that, it’s also the fact that they are assigned to a part of the business, as opposed to internal/company wide stuff (like the global compensation guidelines, or organizing graduate recruitment drives)

HR business partner is assigned to a specific department/division/whatever of the company to be their “HR person”. If you’re in that division you talk to your HR BP, they’re the one who will do the yearly baselining exercise with

It’s not a conspiracy, it’s just convenience. Shaving with a Mach3 is a hell of a lot easier than a DE. Cooking with a Teflon pan is a hell of a lot easier than looking after a carbon steel skillet. The vast majority of people have busy li

What risk? The 401k is for retirement planning, you're looking at 20+ years horizon, the risk on a global index fund is inexistant at that time scale

And therefore we should just make the richest person the president, because he’s been elected democratically by our spending! Genius

A good programmer doesn’t take suck their talent from other programmers around them. Giving so much to a handful of establishments sucks up the best researchers and projects

Maybe, maybe not. All depends on how many friends you have in the party, and whether the current leading faction sees you as a threat or not

So your argument against the bottom charger beign bad design is that the mouse is also designed so it can’t charge and operate (contrary to the keyboard for example)? That’s kind of circular :)

I’m not asking if they’re republicans or democrats, I’m asking what their motives are, what they’re aiming for. > Refusing the law because of the people pushing is ideological Of course the people pushing for a certain law makes a differ

by namdnay 4y ago
I guess the first step would be to look at who is pushing these laws. Are they known proponents of open government? Are they pushing for similar transparency in all services? Have they been spearheading A drive to improve maths level? Or ar

And hopefully we can bury Reactor Core in the garden and never talk about it again
